That's not the point. Systemd doesn't provide such services on it's
own. Your mail still wasn't clear. However, now it is clear.

"replacement for inetd with many enhancements"
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/xinetd. However, Ubuntu's systemd is a
hybrid, so the package contains /etc/init.d/xinetd, there's
no /lib/systemd/system/xinetd.service yet.
